Monogatari no Naka no Hito Chapter 29

Reflexively looking away from the intensively bright magic formation, she raises her head once it is settling down and something could be seen wriggling while wrapped inside smoke.

It became a slight panic.

The spectators, and above all Litris are watching attentively as the smoke gradually clears.

There was a dragon in there.

A burning flame is emitted out from its mouth; the dragon’s body is bright red.

Though it seems it would cause a panic, everyone is stunned.

And a schoolgirl promptly recovers from her shock and opens her mouth.

“Cu-cute!!”

“Look at it! It’s so cute!”

“Kyaa! It’s flying, it’s blowing fire! So cute!”

“So small, I want it!”

“The eyes are so big and round!”

Yes, even though it’s known as a dragon it’s not greatly heroic, it’s of minimum size.

Head, body, tail, eyes, it’s very much red, a small dragon where only the belly is white, the small wings are frantically flapping to stay in the air, while a small fire is being emitted to threaten the surroundings.

Seeing that, the schoolgirls make further noise about its cuteness, and that noise makes the dragon threaten more.

During that vicious circle, Litris finally comes out of her surprise and approaches the dragon.

In a way that makes them understand the dragon was summoned, it turns towards Litris.

When the two come together, Litris uses more magic.

It’s a contract.

Though summoning magic is fundamentally random in what is summoned when inputting magic power, by contracting with what was summoned, they can then be freely summoned.

Precisely like Riheed and Mook’s connection.

Though Litris was going to contract with what was summoned, a bit of hesitation was born because it’s a dragon.

But looking at the lovely eyes while hesitating she felt it to be trivial and the magic was invoked.

“Thank you in advance.”

Litris talks to the dragon in front of her in a volume only it can hear.

The dragon replies with a sound in regards to that.

And thus, Litris contracted with the small dragon.

“That was very fine magic. Congratulations on the contract.”

“Thank you very much.”

When the contracting is finished, Kyrie calls out to Litris who came to the front of the tent.

Litris bows her head at once.

“However, next time I’d like to see something a little more peaceful.”

“E-excuse me.”

Together with such a conversation, Litris quickly goes towards the waiting area along with the dragon.

The dragon doesn’t want to return for some reason, so Litris decided to put it on the side for short while.

Monopolizing the popularity in the waiting area, it was noisy and cramped.

“Cu-cute.”

“Litris-san, I want to touch it!”

“Me too!”

Litris is at a loss among the noisy cla.s.smates, because Mikene’s exam is approaches, putting the dragon on her knee, she looks around at the cla.s.smate’s faces.

“The exam has yet to end and someone must still go, let’s quieten down. Wasn’t everyone nervous during their exam? They’re likely not able to concentrate if the surrounding are noisy.”

Litris’ composed voice calms the high spirited students.

Everyone recalls the tension from the exam they took a short while ago, and watches quietly after apologetically sitting in their seat.

And so, Mikene stands in the practice ground that became quiet.

When Mikene takes out her staff, the aria is started.

The teachers and students as well watch with deep interest towards the long aria.

At the same time that the aria is completed, Mikene’s body rises gently.

Why did Mikene want to use floating magic, it’s an easy story.

When Riheed gave advice at her parent’s home, the sight she saw when taken to the sky was unforgettable.

After returning to the royal capital, Mikene earnestly practiced that.

The result of that practice is that she can now use flight magic to some extent which requires advanced skill.

It’s not unrestricted like Riheed’s, but it’s still excellent for her to float her body when compared to magicians of the same age.

And now, Mikene hasn’t gone over her height but her body is floating stably.

Though the feat of flying freely in the sky can’t be done, Mikene is still overwhelmed with emotion over her accomplishment.

When coming to her senses and looking at the surroundings, among everyone who is astonished she caught sight of a person with sparkling eyes.

Of course, that would be Riheed.

Seeing Riheed’s eyes by chance, Mikene notices her own thoughts.

Why when seeing Riheed her own mood has changed, is understood.

It’s a simple story.

She was rescued, and the benefactor who showed her the way is a complete fool but an honest person, so it was noticed.

Though the current Riheed who has settled down has the feeling of being the ideal magician, but it’s far from the benefactor of Mikene.

But seeing Riheed’s eyes which are sparkling from her own magic, Mikene thinks it is the same as her benefactor.

When the exam is over, Mikene vowed to persuade Riheed to return to his normal self.

Mikene’s liked benefactor, older brother, younger brother, is a noisy person with eyes full of curiosity.

When noticing that, Mikene’s magic added just a little to the height.

When the exams of all the remaining cla.s.smates after Mikene are finished, the cla.s.s is preparing to return to their cla.s.sroom.

Because they were late on the way, Riheed’s cla.s.s was the last in their school year.

And so, when everyone was going to return to their cla.s.sroom, a few words were let out.

“Is Kyrie-sensei’s transfer student not going to partic.i.p.ate in the free a.s.signment’s practical skills?”

The teacher of the general department who is grading the cla.s.s, questions Kyrie who they’re sitting next to.

That voice had a strange echo and the surroundings heard it.

The students turn glances of interest towards Kyrie.

“No, he…”

“It’s been especially put out so let me receive it.”

When Kyrie was trying to gently make an excuse, Riheed’s voice clearly resounded throughout the practice ground.

“Eh!?”

“What, when seeing young magic I also want to partic.i.p.ate.”

Kyrie is surprised, and looks up to Riheed who should be the only one at the place before taking the exam.

But Riheed wasn’t there anymore, in the spot where the students take the practical skills exam; he stood there before he was aware.

“Hahhahha, there were a variety of rumors about his magic, I wanted to see.”

“So, so easygoing…”

The thoughtless laughter of the neighboring teacher, makes Kyrie who has seen Riheed’s magic up close be stunned.

However, it’s happened and there’s no helping it, Kyrie makes up his mind.

“Now then, please use a magic you like, and it will be graded. Of course a dangerous one shouldn’t be used, do you understand?”

“Yea.”

Kyrie who has resigned himself faces Riheed, and reminds him to have caution.

Riheed replies to that expressionlessly.

However, the eyes which are filled with inquisitiveness can’t be hidden.

“Well, now then…”

Riheed takes his staff out from thin air.

With that alone, noise comes from the surroundings.

But without paying attention to the noise, Riheed raises his staff at his own pace.

“Ku…”

The cla.s.s’ exams have finished, so naturally attention gathers towards Riheed, and that sound leaks out from his mouth.

The students, who weren’t able to hear it, are trying to hear that voice more carefully.

“Kukkukku… Ahhahhahha! It’s wonderful to be able to bring an end to this enjoyable day with my favorite magic! Truly!! The suggestion was able to come undone from being overly excited!! But it was worth the being docile for half a day! Aah! It’s fun! It’s so fun!! My heart hasn’t throbbed like this for a long time!! Cut the sky, smash the ground, does the thought reach everybody?!! What comes out, I’m excited just imagining it! Nn!?”

Riheed in the middle of the practice ground raises both hands to the sky, with a whole faced smile; joy is expressed with his whole body.

It can be seen that Riheed’s tension became high in one go, noticing that sudden change, the spectators are astonished.

With that, Mikene and Litris quickly recognizing the present state, look at one another joyfully, Kyrie smiles wryly.

Leanne nods with a self-satisfied look, Mari is delighted with surprise.

Many of the onlookers are astonished, and the few acquaintances among them are looking forwards to it, Riheed’s magic began.
